Overview
NOBLE ENERGY - KERN T8N-R63W-S20 L01 is a gas extraction facility located in Weld County, Colorado, approximately 14.2 miles northeast of Eaton. It operates under US PHMSA and DOT 49 CFR Part 192 regulations.
NOBLE ENERGY - KERN T8N-R63W-S20 L01 is an operational gas extraction facility situated in Weld County, Colorado, about 14.2 miles northeast of Eaton. The facility is part of the Denver-Julesburg Basin, a major oil and gas producing region. It operates within the United States' robust regulatory framework for gas infrastructure, including PHMSA pipeline safety regulations and DOT 49 CFR Part 192. The facility's NAICS codes (211111 and 211130) indicate crude petroleum and natural gas extraction, as well as natural gas liquid extraction. Typical gas extraction facilities in this region range from small to medium scale, often producing several million cubic feet per day. The facility is subject to Colorado's stringent state-level regulations for oil and gas operations, including well integrity and emissions controls. This facility contributes to the local energy supply and economic activity in Weld County, one of the most productive oil and gas counties in the United States. Its location in a rural area reduces proximity risks to dense populations, but the facility must manage environmental considerations such as groundwater protection and air quality, common in the region's gas extraction operations.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a semi-arid region of Colorado with low population density, reducing immediate risks to populated areas. However, gas extraction in the Denver-Julesburg Basin faces challenges related to groundwater contamination and methane emissions. The area is subject to occasional seismic activity, though generally low magnitude. The facility's operational status requires adherence to state and federal environmental regulations to mitigate these risks.
